Some updates from today’s intrasquad scrimmage, which was held in front of an announced 8,721 fans at Sun Life Stadium:

* Continuing the trend from the first week of training camp, David Garrard began the scrimmage with the first-team offense and got by far the most work with the starters compared to Matt Moore and Ryan Tannehill. At this point, it’s probably safe to say that the job is Garrard’s to lose. Barring a disastrous performance in the first one or two preseason games, Garrard will likely be the starter Week 1 in Houston.

“I haven’t been told anything, I haven’t been leaked anything, nobody’s come to me,” Garrard said. “So I’m just going to keep working, let it play out, and hopefully my game shows up.”

The scrimmage was mostly 1’s vs. 2’s, so Garrard didn’t play against the starting defense, but Moore did, while quarterbacking the second-team offense. Same deal with Tannehill – even though he played with the starting offense, he didn’t face the starting defense. It’s one thing to put up big numbers against Austin Spitler and Vincent Agnew. It’s another to do it against Karlos Dansby and Cameron Wake.

* Moore getting the most work was pretty interesting. Even though the team kept going three-and-out, coach Joe Philbin kept sending Moore back out on the field. He got some work with the 1’s later in practice in goal line work, but appears to be a clear No. 2 behind Garrard. As I wrote yesterday, it’s not a guarantee that all three quarterbacks will be kept on the roster.

* Tannehill needs to adapt to the speed of the game, but already he displays good savvy at the line and a great ability to keep plays alive. On one play he read the defense and checked into a playaction naked bootleg pass to Charles Clay, who was wide open for a big gain. On another he scrambled right and floated a perfect pass on the run over linebacker Gary Guyton for a 25-yard touchdown to Anthony Fasano.

“Of course, I was yelling on the touchdown pass, ‘Run, run, run,’ and then he threw a touchdown,” Philbin said. “I thought he looked natural out there. It wasn’t too big for him.”

When asked how normal it is for a rookie to be able to throw that pass, Fasano said, “it isn’t.”

“I’ve said it all along, and I think everyone has said it – he doesn’t really play like a rookie quarterback,” Fasano said.

* The practice wasn’t all smiles and sunshine, however. Philbin said he’s not pleased with the centers – Mike Pouncey and undrafted rookie Josh Samuda – and their shotgun snaps. Garrard dropped one early in practice, and Tannehill put one on the ground on one third down play. Pouncey, recall, had a big snapping issue in 2010 at the University of Florida, though it wasn’t an issue last year as a rookie.

“I don’t like our (shot-)gun snaps,” Philbin said. “You can’t do that in a game and expect to win. I’m very concerned about that.”
